Biography
Francois Claudius Koenigstein was born in Saint-Chamond, France in 1859, and his Dutch father abandoned the family when he was only 8, leading to him adopting his mother's surname, "Ravachol". He worked as a dyer's assistant and accordion player before joining anarchist and worker's rights activists, and he took part in the bombings of the homes of two judiciary members in 1892 in response to the arrest, torture, and imprisonment of anarchist activists. On 30 March 1892, Ravachol was captured, and he was later sentenced to life imprisonment. On 23 June 1892, he was sentenced to death, and he was publicly guillotined in Montbrison on 11 July.
